Possible Causes

Weak remote battery, Damaged antenna, RF interference from nearby devices, Failing radio receiver module

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not climb on unstable objects to test range; use a safe platform.

Steps to try:

  • Replace batteries: Fit new, high‑quality batteries in all Novoferm remotes.
  • Inspect antenna: Ensure the antenna wire is fully extended and not coiled around metal parts.
  • Reduce interference: Temporarily switch off nearby LED lighting, Wi‑Fi routers, or other RF devices to see if range improves.
  • Relocate external receiver (if used): If an external Novoferm receiver is installed, move it away from metal surfaces and closer to the door opening.

If range remains poor, the internal receiver module may need replacement.
